Graceland Too
Graceland Too was a tourist attraction and shrine dedicated to American singer Elvis Presley. It was located in Holly Springs, Mississippi, forty miles (64 km) south of the original Graceland, to which it had no affiliation. Graceland Too was operated out of the two-story home of Paul MacLeod, a Presley fanatic who collected hundreds of pieces of Elvis memorabilia. The shrine cost $5 ($6.80 in 2025) to enter and operated 24/7 year-round. The bizarre nature of the attraction, as well as MacLeod's eccentricity, made it a local landmark over its twenty-five years of operation.
The attraction closed in 2014 after MacLeod shot a man dead on the property, and died himself one day later. Its contents were auctioned off and the site was purchased by a couple.
